the other week i went to utah and went up a mountain to camp out, be manly, and kill things. i accomplished the first.
but my cousin cutler mastered all three objectives. i knew it was going to happen when we started out on friday afternoon. we were discussing the finer points of life when he told me about his 'hot manti girls.' when i asked him to back up such an oxymoronic statement, he produced this picture from his wallet:
he asked me if i could guess what grade she was in. i said fifth. he said, you wish. then he told me she is in 8th grade (he is in 9th). I asked if it matters what grade she is in. he said, no--she's hot though. and i guess he sort of had a point. so at that time i realized that stopping cutler from killing a deer was impossible: the deer had as much chance as did this hot manti girl. so at the very end of the next day, i was not surprised to see cutler riding an atv with a deer tied to the front. and here he is:
while we were driving up to our hunting spot, grandpa's car exploded. and here is a picture of that.
grandpa is something like 87 years old and he can fix anything with his hands and some chicken wire. so i decided i should take some pictures of that:
it was a pretty good trip to utah. i didn't meet any hot LA people or do any great mountain biking, but i did manage to get home at 4:00 in the morning because my flight back to new york was stupid.
and that is all for now. goodbye.

i would be glad to introduce you to some hot LA people if you promise to just focus on your second goal and be manly around them and not try to kill anything.
i like the photos of your grandpa's hands.
i agree with becca. the pictures of grandpas hands are outstanding. i'll say more later.
i like the image of the deer being hung.
the picture of dad in front of the truck makes me wish as manly as him and could fix a truck when steam is coming from the engine.
good to see you back in the dominion stevie.
makes me wish i was as manly
my name means manly, (my christian name that is)
good to see you this weekened steve. . . pig
april is the cruelest month.
Oh, Stephen... another post. I was beginning to give up on you.
Just like a man to keep us all waiting so long for something quality.
Still no Peru pictures... but I guess with a man you take whatever you can get.
The hand pictures are priceless. You can give me copies for Chistmas. Love, Uncle Ron
skinny: you are alive. wow.
paul: you obviously are manly, judging on the comments your wife posted.
becca: i'm mostly always manly.
amy: i think we need to talk about your husband.
ron: sounds good.
my wife is always right.
Let's do talk about my husband. Isn't he great?? I sure think so! And quite a man! Even if he can't fix a steaming truck...
I think we all love your shots from deer hunt... thanks for sharing.
jill: yes. cutler was the only one with a deer.
paul: are wives always right?
amy: are wives always right?
always.
I married a genius.
paul & amy: tnen i'm not getting married
stephen: are you always right?
I love the picture of grandpa's hands too. My dad said a person's hands told so much about them. Grandpa Frandsen certainly has used his to do much good. Mom
word, mom.
pablo: what do you think?
i'm relieved that you didn't accomplish your goal of killing things (you bloodthirsty sadist). :)
i wish those hands belonged to one of my grandpas. they are beautiful.
stevo: always.
dd: hi, good to have you back.
mom: nice to hear from you.
why hasn't anyone mentioned how cute cutler is?
cutler is cute.
dd: your grandpa's are beautiful?
dd: i've never shot a deer...
paul.
what does that mean? too good to shoot a deer or not good enough to shoot at a deer...?
and i would take that manti girl over cutler any day. um... scratch that comment. i mean i would take an older sister or something preferably not someone in 8th grade.
stephen.
just give everyone you know a picture of grandpa's hands. that smells like satisfaction for all.
too good yet not good enough.
stephen: yes.
paul: what up.
petey: don't act like you wouldn't go there.
Petey... will you be around for thanksgiving?
Stevie... we will miss you dearly. We are just laying our plans for next week... really looking forward to it. It won't be a family event without you.
dd.
i don't know where "there" might be. if you mean deer hunt, then i would say. i haven't never been. if you are talking about the place that bbw refer to when jabbin away on the subway, well then, maybe i would go there
amy.
i will be following stevey wherever he takes me for thanksgiving. its my own little way of giving thanks to him for everything that he does for me!
stevey.
i love you. i can't wait to see you again.
pt has strange ways of showing appreciation
Jill... the kiddos and I will be there for Thanksgiving... in Gunnison... party on. Paul will join us Friday night or Sat. morning... unfortunately after all the real festivities are over. But more partying will happen, I am sure...
Don't know when we'll actually get to Gunnison, but we're leaving CA on Tuesday. Probably be in G-valley Wed night? What are you thinking??
Petey and Stevie... so glad to know there will be family celebrating together somewhere else... perhaps you two could sponsor your own version of the Turkey Bowl??? And send pictures...
